Timing the Chi Mech Forum Watch

[miroman]

#33 gained 20 sec. in 36 hours. But I've red that a mechnical needs at least month or two to 'regulate' and to become stable. Just then there's a point to be adjusted.

#49 -20sec in ~50 hours, loosing time at the same rate in every position and on the wrist, except when the dial is down, in that case it is +-0.

I kept the watch running and have worn it most days for a week and it's gained 40 seconds. That's 5.7 seconds a day. Not bad!

At this point, I was going to put it in the box and treat it like everything else - comes out depending on my mood and what I'm wearing - but the moonphase looks slow. I set it on the day of the full moon and it should be half waning but it looks 1/4 waning.
It's probably normal (I've never had a moonphase complication before) but I think I'll keep it going until the new moon in a week or so and see if it's just full of stars.

Has anybody put their watch down long enough to measure the power reserve?

Don't seem like it (laughing).

I keep trying to but when I get home from work, I forget and strap it back on. My Wuyi and 1963 are feeling very neglected!

Mine is running very well, in fact as far as I can see it hasn't lost as much as a whole second over the last four days

OK, then I'll have to answer my own question (having recently received another three watches to distract me).

#39 stopped just 5 minutes ago after about 51 hours. That was after taking it straight off the wrist and putting it down. No hand-winding. I'm impressed.

Does anybody know what the spec is for the ST25?

Didn't make a note of times so couldn't be accurate, but put mine down early afternoon 6th. and it stopped about 9'ish on the 8th. (PM as I found when re-setting). So about the same.

Noticed when I had a Parnis power-reserve that it fully charged in about 2 hours, suspect the Moon does aswell.
Also starts just by getting the box open.

My moonphase is pitifully slow. Should be 42% now and I'm about 75% full. The rest of the watch seems spot on.

Same here. Looks like it hasn't moved in days.
